Integers and Floating-Point Numbers
Explore the fundamental numeric types in Kotlin including integers like Int and Long, and floating-point numbers like Float and Double. Understand their bit sizes, value ranges, variable creation with suffixes, and Kotlin's explicit type conversion methods to write precise and error-free number handling in your applications.
Numeric types
In Kotlin, there is a range of different types that are used to represent numbers. They can be divided into:
Representing integer numbers (numbers without decimal points)
Representing floating-point numbers (numbers with decimal points)
In these groups, the difference is in the number of bits used to represent these numbers, which determines the possible number size ...
